That was before the 15 week ban became the 6 week ban. The latest data shows the increase in infant mortality continues. These numbers also do not reflect the pain, trauma, and impact these bans have had on the affected women, men, and families.

"So, for 13 more weeks, Deborah carried baby Milo in her uterus, knowing he would die soon after birth. She avoided going out into public, fearing seeing people in the grocery store who might see her pregnant and congratulate her or ask, "Is this your first child? Are you excited?"

"I just went into a really dark place, you know, essentially planning my son's birth and funeral at the same time,"

"I will never have children again. I know I would not survive another pregnancy like that. I can't endure it."

Someone should print out business cards to hand to people that come up to congratulate women in these circumstances. The women living this nightmare wouldn't need to say a word, just hand a card to the person that says "I am carrying a child that will die once it is born. I am planning on the birth and the funeral at the same time. I am being forced to do this because of laws passed that take away the right to make the best decisions from my doctors, myself, and others that are directly affected."

I wonder how many women have to suffer and die before people wake up.
When are we going to reverse this patronizing evil?
